Are Mushrooms Good On Keto?
Not only are they delicious, high in fiber, and a source of protein, mushrooms are also incredibly low in calories and carbohydrates.
If you’re struggling to find a healthy and yummy addition to your daily keto meal rotation, mushrooms are a perfect choice.
How Many Carbs Are In Mushrooms?
Mushrooms are low in carbs, but just HOW LOW are they in carbs? If you’re familiar with a keto lifestyle , you’re probably aware that tracking macros can be essential to your success, especially if you’ve hit a weight loss plateau .
Mushrooms average 3.3g of total carbs per serving . If you choose to track net carbs instead of total carbs, mushrooms average 2.3g of net carbs per serving .
What Are The Best Mushrooms To Air Fry?
As a mushroom lover, I will tell you that I try not to play favorites with flavor. Each type of mushroom adds something different and delicious to a dish.
For air frying, however, I prefer Baby Bella mushrooms or button mushrooms. They hold up to the higher temperatures without drying out and they’re one of the more mild-flavored mushrooms.
If you’re cooking for picky eaters or just want this to be a universal pairing for your main course, they are the best choice for mushrooms to air fry.
Ingredients You’ll Need
With less than five ingredients, you can have a tasty low carb side dish. Here’s what you’ll need to have in your kitchen before you get started:
- Baby Bella Mushrooms
- Olive Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic
How To Cook Mushrooms In Your Air Fryer
Who doesn’t love a super simple air fryer recipe that is perfect for a busy weeknight and can be made in under 30 minutes?
These air fryer mushrooms fit that bill perfectly. Here’s how to make them:
- Thoroughly wash and dry your mushrooms
- Cut mushrooms in half vertically
- In a mixing bowl, toss the halved mushrooms in olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic
- Place seasoned mushrooms into your air fryer basket
- Cook at 375F for 12 minutes, shaking your air fryer basket halfway through to prevent sticking and uneven cooking.
Can You Make This Keto Mushrooms Recipe In The Oven?
If you’re still getting up the nerve to try out your new air fryer, or simply haven’t picked up one of your own yet, you can still make this easy mushroom recipe in your oven. Here’s how:
- Preheat your oven to 400F
- Wash and dry mushrooms
- Cut them in half or in quarters
- In a mixing bowl, toss the halved mushrooms in olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic
- Place the seasoned mushrooms on a baking sheet
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes
- Carefully remove any moisture that may have accumulated in the bottom of your baking sheet
- Gently shake mushrooms in the baking sheet and return to the oven
- Bake for an additional 20 minutes
Tips And Tricks
- Change it up. Feel free to swap out the Baby Bella mushrooms with your favorite type of mushroom or whatever you happen to have in your fridge.
- Marinate. After you have washed and dried your mushrooms, toss in teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, or even Worcestershire sauce and marinate for 15 minutes for an extra punch of flavor.
- Make them consistent. Whichever way you choose to cut (or not cut) your mushrooms before tossing them in your air fryer, make sure they are uniform in size. This will help them cook evenly.
Can I Cook Frozen Mushrooms In The Air Fryer?
You absolutely can! If you don’t have access to fresh mushrooms, or just want to skip the extra prep, just toss them in the air fryer at 375F for about 15 minutes.
Can You Air Fry Mushrooms To Dry Them?
Technically, yes. However, I wouldn’t recommend it. While most air fryers aren’t overwhelmingly loud, you can still hear them.
Considering the time to dehydrate mushrooms in an air fryer can be up to 8 hours, I would reach for an actual dehydrator to get the job done.
If you’re wanting to give it a try, cut your mushrooms into thin slices and toss them in the air fryer at 200F for 6-8 hours.
What Do You Eat With Mushrooms?
I absolutely adore mushrooms (especially when they’re made in the air fryer) because of how versatile they are and how well they round out a meal.
Pair these easy air fried mushrooms with one of these other tasty dishes:
- Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
- Air Fryer Chicken Legs
- Chicken Cordon Bleu
- Instant Pot Brisket
- Keto Sausage and Broccoli
How Long Do They Last?
Air fryer mushrooms are great for meal prep because they are easy to make, pair well with many dishes, are low carb, and reheat well.
For the best results, try to enjoy your air fryer mushrooms withing 3-5 days of preparing them.

Low Carb Thai Curry Soup that uses curry paste, coconut milk, and some fresh vegetables to provide a savory, comforting twist on regular chicken soup. Use your Instant Pot to make this even faster!

- Spices. This soup is well-spiced, but not spicy, and you can vary the spice level by adjusting how much yellow curry paste you choose to put into it.
- Flavor. Picture all the flavors you love from a delicious Thai Curry, but delivered to you in a warm and comforting bowl of soup - that’s this Thai Curry Soup recipe!
How Do You Make Thai Curry Soup?
- Place main soup ingredients into a thick-bottomed pot and cook until the chicken is well cooked and the broth is flavorful.
- Remove and shred chicken. Put back into the soup.
- Add the veggies to the hot broth. You want to give them a little scalding in the hot broth but not cook them to mush so you can still taste the freshness of the veggies and herbs.
How Do You Make Thai Curry Soup in the Instant Pot?
One of the things I love the most about Instant Pot recipes is how quickly you can develop flavor with the push of a button. Here’s how I made Thai Curry Soup in the Instant Pot:
- To make Thai Curry Soup Instant Pot style, place the main soup ingredients into the Instant Pot and seal.
- Using the SOUP button, cook under pressure for 12 minutes. The Soup button prevents the coconut milk from boiling and separating.
- Quick-release the pressure and remove and shred chicken. Put back into the soup.

- Remove and shred chicken. Put back into the soup.
Do I Need Curry Paste?
- Store-Bough Curry Paste. A word about the use of Thai curry paste: I rarely use pastes and pre-made spice mixes in my cooking–except when it comes to Thai Curry pastes. These mixes are so full of such a variety of ingredients, the average home-cook would be hard-pressed to find or buy each little ingredient that goes into it. So I do purchase ready curry pastes for this soup, as well as for my Thai Green curry dish .
- Green Curry. You can definitely make this Thai curry soup a green curry soup by using the same paste you bought for the Green Curry .
Is This Thai Curry Soup Keto?
I’m glad you asked! Yes, it is. This soup hasn’t been modified to be low-carb, it just is naturally. So whether you’re eating low-carb , or trying to find flavorful Keto-friendly recipes , this soup is a great addition to your recipe collection!
